Oliveirense Football Club a team playing in Portuguese second-division has caught attention following their errecent stunt during match against Felgueiras. Oliveirense lost the match 0-3 and remained at the bottom of the Segunda division. However a video went viral on social media where employees of the club were recorded using milk to paint the goal line before the match.
The Estadio Carlos Osorio pitch had turned soggy after intense rainstorms. The grounds crew had to redo the white lines in certain spots on the field before the start of the match. They had only a few minutes before kickoff to finish the task, so they were under time pressure.
When the contents of their paint roller ran out, one employee decided to bring cartons of milk, which were then distributed to others to fit into the paint rolling machine. The game proceeded as planned, and remarkably, none of the white lines caused any problems.
